I spoke with Flat Toads this week to update them on our assessment ideas. Amy seemed to think the idea for progress bars within the rubric was doable within Oracle and she is looking into that. Also, I have asked Shawn to set up a simple asset management tool for us to start to use. It occured to me when we were given technology from the DOE after the Cisco event that it might make sense for us to start to track technology assets belonging to the school. Once that is up and running, Amy will host it externally for us until we can move it over to the Quest.
Leah has set up email accounts for Rebecca and I so that we can test run q2l.org. We had some discussions about what email for the teachers will look like and we thought perhaps we can set up their doe accounts to forward to gmail so that we can all me in the google environment for file sharing, google docs, google talk etc.
Lassina has been hired and he is eager to begin to work on the tech buildout. He has experience with this and is willing to donate some time, so we can talk about how to use his expertise. Also, some of his responsibilities at RGA are around data management of DOE systems, so I'd like to find out what he is capable of as we continue to look at the positions and staffing. I think he may be able to help out.
Coming up, this Friday we are meeting with Arthur V. at the DOE to discuss our vision and Quest. I'll update that next week.
